Post-election divergence in global markets: Technology pressure continues in Asia

Global equities diverged following the U.S. midterm elections, with Wall Street's strong rally failing to carry into Asia, where South Korean technology shares led declines while Japanese and Australian markets advanced. U.S. and European index futures pointed to cautious trading as investors weighed the post-election landscape. The split highlights how regional tech-sector pressure, particularly in Korea, is offsetting broader risk appetite stemming from the U.S. political outcome. Investors will watch whether the Wall Street rally sustains into the next session and whether Asian tech weakness spreads to other markets.
